What Are Ankle Injury Claims?
Ankle injury claims let you seek compensation if you’ve suffered harm due to another party’s negligence. You could be entitled to start a claim if the injury happened at places like Manchester Arena during an event, when using public transport such as the Metrolink, or while working on sites along Deansgate, provided someone else, such as an employer, business or property owner, failed in their duty of care.
As part of our free consultation, our solicitors will clarify your eligibility, review the circumstances of your accident, and explain what evidence is needed for your claim. If you decide to proceed with a claim, you’ll receive support in gathering documentation, such as accident reports and medical records, ensuring that each step is managed professionally.
Our team will handle negotiations with insurance companies, aiming to secure a settlement that covers treatment costs, lost earnings, and future care needs. You’ll stay informed throughout, making the process more straightforward and less stressful.

Common Accidents That Might Lead To An Ankle Injury Claim
Accidents that may result in an ankle injury claim typically involve situations where another party owes you a duty of care. These accidents could take place on Manchester’s roads, in workplaces, at public venues such as the AO Arena, or at locations like Piccadilly Gardens and hospitals including Manchester Royal Infirmary. You could be entitled to seek compensation when the accident was caused by hazards, unsafe conditions or breaches of health and safety regulations.
Examples of common accidents include:
Slip, Trip and Fall Incidents: You might trip on an uneven pavement, wet floor with no signage or loose cables in places like public transport stations or shopping centres.
Workplace Accidents: You could suffer an ankle injury because of faulty equipment, inadequate training or ignored risk assessments on construction sites or office buildings.
Road Traffic Accidents: Pedestrian, cyclist or driver injuries, including on busy routes like the A6 or close to major venues, may entitle you to claim if another party acted negligently.
Sports or Leisure Venue Accidents: Poorly maintained facilities or lack of supervision in gyms or sports centres could result in injury.
These and other accidents that result in ankle injuries could all result in a personal injury claim, so long as you meet the eligibility criteria described in the next section. Please read on for more information, or get in touch if you’d like us to check if you have a valid ankle injury claim.
Eligibility Criteria For Ankle Injury Claims
The easiest way to check if you might be entitled to claim compensation for an ankle injury is to answer the following questions:
Did the party you’re claiming against owe you a duty of care?
Were you involved in an accident because that duty was not upheld?
Did your ankle injury occur as a direct result of that accident?
If you can answer yes to all three questions, you may have grounds to start the claims process. If you’re unsure about any of the answers, don’t worry. We offer a free initial consultation. This means one of our specialists will assess your case for free and explain your options.

How The Ankle Injury Claim Process Works
If you work with us to make your Manchester ankle injury claim, your solicitor will:
Notify the at-fault party and their insurer about your intention to claim
Arrange for a medical assessment by a qualified independent expert
Collate evidence, such as CCTV images or maintenance logs for public places
Calculate losses, including lost wages and care costs
Handle all negotiations, ensuring fair compensation for both physical injury and financial losses
Once the claim is ready, your solicitor submits it to the relevant insurer and manages ongoing negotiations. You’ll receive regular updates and expert guidance throughout, with every step handled to protect your best interests.
Importantly, your solicitor will only agree to settle if they believe that the settlement offered fully reflects all of the suffering linked to your ankle injury.
What Evidence Will I Need?
You’ll require clear evidence to support an ankle injury claim. Without this, proving liability and calculating fair compensation becomes difficult. Our solicitors will help pinpoint, gather, and present evidence that aligns with the strict criteria for personal injury claims.
You’ll find these are key types of evidence for ankle injury claims:
Accident reports: Official incident logs from work, shopping centres, or sports venues.
Medical records: Hospital notes, GP evidence, and X-rays documenting your ankle injury—see details on ankle injuries.
Photographs: Images of the hazardous area, your injury, and any visible hazards like uneven roads near Oxford Road or wet floors in retail spaces.
Witness statements: Contact details and accounts from colleagues, bystanders, or venue staff.
Receipts: Proof of financial losses, including travel for appointments at Manchester Royal Infirmary, medical costs, or lost income calculations.
Our specialist solicitors will compile this documentation, arrange independent expert assessments, and communicate with insurers or third parties. You’ll receive ongoing updates, clarity on what qualifies as admissible evidence, and support tailored to local claim instances.
If you’d like us to assess any evidence you’ve already collected, why not call and ask for a free assessment today?
How Long Do I Have To Start An Ankle Injury Compensation Claim?
You generally have three years from the date of your ankle injury to start a compensation claim in line with the Limitation Act 1980. This three-year limit applies to most personal injury cases.
If you are claiming on behalf of a child, you can do so at any point before their 18th birthday as this is when their 3-year time limit begins. If you would like to claim on behalf of somebody who lacks mental capacity, such as an elderly relative who has broken their ankle in a fall, their is no time limit for claiming.

What Compensation For An Ankle Injury Might Cover
Compensation for an ankle injury should address both direct and indirect losses tied to your accident. You could claim financial support for a range of impacts including:
General damages: These cover pain, suffering, and loss of amenity following fractures, sprains, or ligament damage—whether the accident happened on Deansgate, at Manchester Piccadilly Station, or elsewhere.
Special damages: These include lost earnings, overtime, or bonuses if you’re off work for weeks or months. You could also recover medical treatment costs, like physiotherapy at Manchester Royal Infirmary or surgery expenses, along with travel costs for hospital appointments.
Future losses: If your injury leads to reduced mobility or ongoing disability, your settlement could include predicted loss of future earnings or future care costs.
Care and assistance: This can cover paid support or help from family members if you’ve needed help with daily activities after your accident.
If you call for a free assessment of your case, a solicitor from our team will provide a compensation estimate after they’ve assessed your claim in detail.
